The text for the second part, ‘yay brain’, indirectly emerges from continued interaction with its exploded MIDI keyboard. The content comes from documents written in 2012 while experiencing what I now understand as anxiety attacks, attempting to understand them.

There is one more piece planned for the series, which I expect to complete in early 2019.
